JP General's Kale Pesto

When we have an abundant harvest of kale from our raised garden beds, we use it to make this KALE PESTO which we freeze for use during the winter months. (Click here for printable PDF.)

  3. Add Parmesan, garlic, zest of lemon and continue to blend while you add olive oil slowly into the mix until well-blended.
